January is my kind of month. Not only does the weather heat up here in Melbourne, we have tennis, tennis and more tennis on our TVs and in our stadiums. It's a pretty exciting time to be in Australia. To really put the cherry on the cake, Maria Sharapova is bringing the delicious Sugarpova down under this week.

As if my holiday diet wasn't bad enough already!

Maria will be launching her candy on our sunny shores this Friday at 2pm along the Crown Riverwalk. Fans who are lucky enough to be in Melbourne at this time should flock down to try and catch a glimpse, (and maybe an autograph) of the formidable businesswoman and tennis player.

I'll be down there covering the launch so make sure to check back for some photos and hopefully some flavorsome updates!
